Science conspectus
Science conspectus is a 1910 Boston survey of science compiled by Isaac W. Litchfield for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Society of Arts, a general reference for lay readers. Its pictures are halftone photographs and line diagrams: a pair of skulls side by side, a field of scattered sticks, an oyster shell and spat colony, and a sectioned pyramid diagram with layers and a buried passage, useful for designers wanting plain scientific documentary imagery of early twentieth-century research.
